Prison Conditions in Insein Prison Insein prison has a population 10,000 prisoners. Insein’s capacity is 4,000. “The harsh conditions of Burmese prisons easily qualify as torture. In a notorious incident, pigs were beaten outside Insein prison to drown out the cries of prisoners being beaten within.”
Bo Kyi was sent to prison Prison Conditions Sent to prison for: • Student union activity • Organizing demonstrations • Refusing to be an informer for the military • Was sent to Insein Prison in Mae Sot • Known for the abuse of prisoners
Bo was arrested and questioned for 36 hours by many groups of people • He was moved into a cell 3 by 4 meters • beaten 200 times until he was unconsciousness • Officals said he tried to orgaiaze another demistration • beaten again for 45 cents and a piece of paper
What happened to Bo • Bo spent seven years and three months in Insein • when released he had to sign a paper agreement with the MI • If he was involved in any political activities he would be sentenced again
Interesting about Bo being sent to prison • Most people don’t know what happens behind prison walls. • Bo Kyi was sent to prison in 1990 for no real reason • Shows how officials can arrest and beat people for almost anything
